Belloi, Peter

, advocate general of
the parliament of Toulouse, of the sixteenth century, was
born at Montauban, and descended from a gentleman’s
family originally of Brittany. At the age of twenty-one
he was appointed regent in the university of Toulouse,
and after having pleaded four or five years at the bar, he
was made a counsellor, or member of the presidiai court of
Toulouse. Notwithstanding his being a Roman catholic,
|
his regard for his king and country brought him into danger. His declaring against the league made the heads of
that party his enemies, and king Henry III. to gratify the
Guises, ordered him to be imprisoned. This happened in
1587. They charged him with being a heretic, and an incendiary, and the year before they had prevailed with the
bishop to prefer an information against him, as the author
of a book which Thuanus says was written by one Breton,
who was hanged for it. Belloy’s work against the league,
entitled “Apologie Catholique conti’e les libelles, &c. publiées par les Liguez,” was published in 1585, and afterwards translated into Latin. Belloy at length escaped from
prison, and reached St. Dennis, where the governor for
the king gave him a friendly reception, and presented him
to his majesty, who being now convinced of his loyalty
and merit, made him advocate-general of the parliament
of Toulouse. The time of his death is not recorded, but
he was living in 1605, and probably much later. His other
works are, 1. “Declaration du droit de légitime Succession
sur le royaume de Portugal apartenant a la reine mere
du roi très Christien,” à Anvers et à Paris, 1582, 8vo. 2.
